You can filter Sykes cottages by pets and sone mention cats but cats are territorial and may find the journey and a place that doesn’t smell of them quite stressful.

She lets him out, so it's not like he's locked indoors while we're away - I think he just wants the company, as he'll always lie on my lap for spells to sleep when we're at home.

I'm a first time cat slave and want our two to have the best life possible as their previous owner went into care so we think they may have had a time when things weren't as they would like just before they were handed to Cats Protection. For holidays our in laws sit with them for a couple of hours each day (cats ignore them largely but seem to appreciate someone being in) and for more than a couple of nights one of them stays the odd night.
